Supercar Show.
The TSO GTC is a
classic British race-inspired 2-seat sports coupe that comes with
racing
suspension, racing brakes and a rear diffuser. The GTC is priced at
£49,950.
The TSO R/T
delivers a thrilling open top driving experience with dual removable
roof panels - combining a roadster experience with the safety,
confidence and styling of the coupe. The R/T comes equipped with
touring suspension, cargo nets and premium sound and is priced at
£53,950.
Both models come
standard with a 420 horsepower Aluminium V8 Engine and a 6-speed
manual gearbox. A 462 horsepower Performance Pack is also available.
TSO’s are being delivered this summer to the Marcos Dealer Network.
“The TSO’s
combination of tuned V8 power and lightweight design delivers both
stunning performance and breathtaking sound in a reliable, precision
Engineered and affordable British Supercar”, said Tony Stelliga,
Marcos Engineering’s Managing Director.
The TSO is
professionally Engineered. Composites and components are CAD
designed and fabricated in England. The Chassis is Engineered and
manufactured by Prodrive - a leading developer of motorsport chassis
and race cars that have earned five British Touring Car
Championships and six World Rally titles. Designed to be lightweight
and responsive, the TSO inspires confidence and is communicative up

The TSO is
reliable - with the same proven V8 Engine and drivetrain components
found in the Corvette and Monaro. Induction, exhaust and electronics
modifications by Marcos further enhance the TSO’s drivability and
performance.
The TSO is a
performer – a lightweight composite body, space frame chassis and V8
engine provide an impressive power-to-weight ratio. With the
Performance Pack the TSO accelerates to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and to
100 mph in 8.5 seconds. Huge 340mm AP Racing brakes deliver a
